The Chlamydomonas Genetics Center is an NSF-sponsored project
that serves as a central repository to receive, catalogue,
preserve and distribute stocks of nuclear and chloroplast
mutants of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and other
Chlamydomonas species in which extensive genetic analysis has
been done. The Center also maintains and distributes genomic
and cDNA clones of Chlamydomonas nuclear, chloroplast and
mitochondrial genes.
The Chlamydomonas Genetics Center maintains an extensive
bibliography of references pertinent to Chlamydomonas
research, from which specific individual references or
topical lists can be excerpted on request. Recent additions
to the Chlamydomonas literature are listed in the
Chlamydomonas Newsletter, distributed by Dr. Mike Adams,
Biology Department, Eastern Connecticut State University,
Willimantic,CT 06226
Computer files are maintained of nuclear, chloroplast and
mitochondrial DNA sequences of C. reinhardtii collected from
publications and from the EMBL and GENBANK databases. At
present these are not listed on the Indiana file server,
but can be obtained by E-mail and on disk for IBM (MS-DOS) or
Macintosh. We can provide text files, or can translate the
sequence data into most common word-processing formats.
Please contact Elizabeth Harris at the address below.
Nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genetic and physical
maps of C. reinhardtii are published at two-year intervals in
the series Genetic Maps, edited by Stephen OUBrien and
published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Copies of the
current map, including any recent additions that have been
communicated to us, are available on request.
The file CHLAMY.TXT on the IU file server contains the
current catalogue of algal cultures in the collection.
